Action wise good but Story wise weak!

Rating: 6/10 (13 July 2013)

What's Good: A magnanimous face off between Robots and Aliens done on a grand scale technical is almost a visual treat!
What's Bad: The story loses its appeal by busying itself in focusing on fights!
Watch or Not?: Garnished with only a hint of imagination, Guillermo del Torro fails to evoke the same fascination that he did with Hell Boy. Pacific Rim coming across as an adequate spectacle of Transformers battling Godzilla, the story is lost amidst focusing too hard on the blaze. Packed with high intensity, the film's catastrophe feel will satiate the childish mirth of a fanboy teenager. Don't expect a story, expect calamity!
Pacific Rim Review: Script Analysis
Pacific Rim has been made on visionary scale in terms of detailing and technicalities, but the story suffers a major blow. Beginning off well with a voice over about the Kaiju War, the story lacks rarity in it. The Kaiju which seem distant kins of Godzilla, is pasted on a gargantuan canvas. Story wise, it is not emotionally wicked. The backstory that validated the commanding officer's paternal affinity with Mako lacked the dramatic punch. Mostly, the theory postulated by Dr Newton about the Kaiju brains being clones, is concluded abruptly, leaving it half baked. There were unnecessary deviations from the plot. With Newton going in search of Kaiju brain to a black market dealer Hannibal Chau is lame as it wraps up into nothing. It is disappointing to see such intelligent concepts wrapping up into nothing! The eye popping expectations are met mostly, but the film's plot is so slim that it loses its ground without flaunting its action prowess!
